Purchase order flow automation with Dynamics 365 Business Central

Hi all,

 

Just wondered if anyone could assist me with the below.

 

I have set up a purchase order approval process (based on an existing template) through power automate to be used in conjunction with raising Purchase Orders in MS Dynamics 365 Business Central.

 

Currently I have managed to set up the flow so that the approver or approvers get notified via MS Teams an email to the extent of the below:

 
Purchase Order Approval Request
Purchase order PO-XXXXX totaling $XXX.XX for VENDOR XXX needs to be approved.
 
APPROVE       REJECT
 
My question is, Is there any way to dynamically include a copy of the PDF version of each purchase order in the approval message, so that the approver can actually review the full document without having to log into Dynamics separately to view it? or is this not possible?
 
 
 
Also on a side note, is there a way to intelligently automate the level of approval based on the amount on the PO request? i.e If under a certain amount, it goes to approver 1 but if its over that amount it goes to or bounces into approver 2?
 
Thanks in advance for the assistance,

 

Kind Regards,

 

Paul
